Brown Butter Raisin Muffins

Titus has taken an interest in baking, and out of nowhere, he declared that we were going to make muffins. He did this late at night, so I promised him he could bake some the next day. I asked what kind, and he confidently replied: "Raisin muffins!"

Now, I'm not a huge raisin fan, nor is he actually, but I wanted him to be in charge, so raisin, sure. I sneakily got him to agree to add some chocolate chips, too, but feel free to do all raisin. Or all chocolate.

Melt the butter and let it cook on high heat until it's turning golden brown and gorgeously fragrant. Add to the eggs, along with the milk and cream. Add baking powder and flour and stir everything together.

Finally add the raisins and chocolate.

Fill muffin cases about 3/4 full, and bake at 200°C for about 10-12 minutes.
